Profile installation failed.

I am getting this error on Lion when trying to register my device on the Lion server using the MyDevices page. I have already installed the trust certificate as well as the Everyone profile. I then proceed to the Devices tab and click on the Register button, but get this error in the process:

The profile "Remote Management (come.apple.config.rocking-mm.private.mdm)" could not be installed due to an unexpected error.

Any ideas how to resolve this?

Thanks!

I did this and it worked finally. If I screw up somewhere I just demote my OD, run the wipeDB script, then start over with everything. Thanks!

I know this thread is very old and I should perhaps create a new one. However, I've got the same error but my certificates are 'verified' .

Profile Manager is 100% dependent on DNS / Certs. If one of these arn't a factor in the game it could be why your having issues. Is this with a computer or iOS device?

I had the same issue on el capitan -

I created a new admin user admin2 and was able to successfully add my device to profile manager

cheers
